Rider Reviews & Product Details

The intellisense feature, the customization, the plugin store, the IA integration across the whole IDE.

The interface is clean and customizable, is cleaner than Visual Studio for long coding journeys.

The performance, is almost the same that using VS; but the amount of features there is no match.

The price gives a lot of value against VS subscription. I have the ultimate for years and I paid a fraction vs the VS Subscription just for use the VS.Net.

The support is great, and all inquiries takes no longer than 2 days to responded. About the documentation, the JetBrains page gives a lot of content to onboard into the ecosystem easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't find anything to dislike, I can complain about the IA that is integrated as a must (Should be more option to disable and remove some integrations). The IDE is powerful, and this impact in the performance in PCs with low-mid specs.

I'm aware of that, and I can accepted. Other code editors like VSC is great for agility, but there is no point of comparison an IDE and a code-editor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like Rider because it shows complex structures that other IDEs don't provide, and it's great for tracking frequently called methods. Its code completion techniques are very intelligent and perform better than others. I appreciate the flexibility in showing method names and method case errors. It also connects seamlessly with Unity, making the integration very smooth and efficient. The setup is straightforward, which I find convenient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

So, the plugin support that works seamlessly in Visual Studio Code doesn't have a similar experience on Rider. It's very hassle toward integration. For example, with Copilot, the text generation isn't as fast and efficient as in Visual Studio Code. Also, in line chat, when there is code completion or errors, the suggestion provided cannot be directly applied to the code itself. I have to copy and paste it manually inside.

It’s easy to use and straightforward to configure, with all the connections and integrations a developer would need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The interface isn’t as clear as it could be, so the initial configuration and getting started take a bit longer than they should. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Powerful IDE

Strong .NET and C# tools

Can use one license on both my PCs Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is a real resource hog compared to visual studio code

You have multiple IDEs in Jetbrains to work in different languages

Subscription cost increases is pushing us out of Jetbrains

Unfamiliar ecosystem when coming from something else (you can use plugins that make it feel more like others) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

On a certain day, I was working with Visual Studio and got a problem with versions of .NET in a Windows computer, so I opened the Rider IDE and Rider could comprehend the error in a path of .NET versions and worked perfect because it understood the mistake and provided the tool to continue my working without any error while the Visual Studio didn't work properly and didn't provide any correct suggestion to correct the bug.

Sometimes is a let bit slowly couse my old computer =) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love the toolkit, the extensions and the customization that it has.

It has a great community and the proper company has gives you a big support.

It's easy to use and the user experience is quite good. From VS Studio to Rider and I am not regreting it at all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The integration with GitHub copilot could be better, sometimes it has a lot of issues with memory and sometimes is not functional when you have 2 Rider windows opened, this is quite bad UX but with all other things it could be acceptable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Vast variety of coding languages support, Awesome IntelliSense feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Community version has limited features only. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Rider allows the user to preserve keyboard scheme from Resharper or Visual Basic - which is very convenient for switchers. It also allows full customization of keyboard shortcuts according to the user's preferences. Navigating across files and searching for features is very easy - thanks to its combined file and action search. Code Cleanup is very helpful for independent developers like me because it simplifies my code to a great extent. Find and Replace feature can even work across files to omit duplicate instances. The Debugger is even capable of decompiling the source code to locate faulty functions. Rider is efficiently capable of maintaining multiple projects in a centralized manner.

I had to make my own template as default templates were not exactly suitable. Setting up the debugger with environment variables seemed a bit counterintuitive. After debugging codes, changes will not be visible until a run is stopped and the solution is rerun - which was quite confusing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really love all of the Jetbrains suite of IDEs. They are easy to use, and the ability to synchronize settings across IDEs is very helpful! It was very easy for our team to switch from Visual Studio to Rider. The many plugins and simple UI are really nice. I feel that the out-of-the-box features are also a bit more advanced than Visual Studio. Pricing is also very competitive! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One of their biggeset downsides is the lack of integration with legacy systems for developing .net software for Windows. The language support for VB.net leaves some to be desired, and the lack fo a drag-and-drop editor for WinForms makes Visual Studio much more appealing.

It is also harder to find good project templates for Rider, as it is not as commonly used. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One of the thing that I love on this is auto complition, suggestion and auto import of classess.

I become more effecient this compare to visual studio code and visual studio. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its hard to migrate my working environment

The default config the size of text is too large, the spacing is too wide.

Setting sass compiler quite challenging incounter some issue.

This the issue is after setting up the sass compiler at first saving its compiles but after making changes on scss file it not compite automatically I need to delete the compiled file in order to apply my changes. after lot of searching there is a trick need to delete line of text in config after that hard time. This application works fine. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
